Slađana Buric

Human Resources Professional & Executive Coach

She combines expertise and authenticity in her work, whether training leaders to unleash their potential or creating an inclusive environment where employees thrive. She approaches leadership development and organizational growth with the same level of care and dedication.

At times, her work focuses on large HR strategies – shaping culture, managing talent, succession planning, employee engagement, and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Other times, she serves as a trusted partner, helping individuals discover their purpose, achieve work-life harmony, or navigate complex transitions.

With 20 years of experience in HR consulting, employee engagement, and leadership development, Slađana uses a strategic yet deeply human-centered approach to align people initiatives with business goals. She is passionately committed to understanding what makes people tick – their energy, strengths, and the unique impact they bring to the world.

Coaching & Leadership Philosophy

Slađana believes that lasting transformation happens when individuals engage not just their minds, but also their emotional and somatic intelligence. She helps leaders and entrepreneurs identify blind spots, overcome obstacles, and improve self-awareness so they can lead more effectively, make better decisions, and enhance performance.

A core part of her work is providing honest feedback to leaders – something they often stop receiving as they advance in their careers. She guides leaders through self-discovery, even in areas many avoid, including hidden dysfunctions that impact leadership effectiveness. Her goal is to empower them to handle challenges with clarity, confidence, and resilience.
